Subject: [PATCH] sched: Use rcu in sched_get_rr_param()

commit 1a551ae715825bb2a2107a2dd68de024a1fa4e32 upstream

read_lock(&tasklist_lock) does not protect
sys_sched_get_rr_param() against a concurrent update of the
policy or scheduler parameters as do_sched_scheduler() does not
take the tasklist_lock.

The access to task->sched_class->get_rr_interval is protected by
task_rq_lock(task).

Use rcu_read_lock() to protect find_task_by_vpid() and prevent
the task struct from going away.
